Tx napi mode increases the rate of transmit interrupts. Suppress some
by masking interrupts while more packets are expected. The interrupts
will be reenabled before the last packet is sent.
This optimization reduces the througput drop with tx napi for
unidirectional flows such as UDP_STREAM that do not benefit from
cleaning tx completions in the the receive napi handler.

Convert virtio-net to a standard napi tx completion path. This enables
better TCP pacing using TCP small queues and increases single stream
throughput.
The virtio-net driver currently cleans tx descriptors on transmission
of new packets in ndo_start_xmit. Latency depends on new traffic, so
is unbounded. To avoid deadlock when a socket reaches its snd limit,
packets are orphaned on tranmission. This breaks socket backpressure,
including TSQ.
Napi increases the number of interrupts generated compared to the
current model, which keeps interrupts disabled as long as the ring
has enough free descriptors. Keep tx napi optional and disabled for
now. Follow-on patches will reduce the interrupt cost.

Add support for XDP adjust head by allocating a 256B header region
that XDP programs can grow into. This is only enabled when a XDP
program is loaded.
In order to ensure that we do not have to unwind queue headroom push
queue setup below bpf_prog_add. It reads better to do a prog ref
unwind vs another queue setup call.
At the moment this code must do a full reset to ensure old buffers
without headroom on program add or with headroom on program removal
are not used incorrectly in the datapath. Ideally we would only
have to disable/enable the RX queues being updated but there is no
API to do this at the moment in virtio so use the big hammer. In
practice it is likely not that big of a problem as this will only
happen when XDP is enabled/disabled changing programs does not
require the reset. There is some risk that the driver may either
have an allocation failure or for some reason fail to correctly
negotiate with the underlying backend in this case the driver will
be left uninitialized. I have not seen this ever happen on my test
systems and for what its worth this same failure case can occur
from probe and other contexts in virtio framework.

This work adds a number of tracepoints to paths that are either
considered slow-path or exception-like states, where monitoring or
inspecting them would be desirable.
For bpf(2) syscall, tracepoints have been placed for main commands
when they succeed. In XDP case, tracepoint is for exceptions, that
is, f.e. on abnormal BPF program exit such as unknown or XDP_ABORTED
return code, or when error occurs during XDP_TX action and the packet
could not be forwarded.
Both have been split into separate event headers, and can be further
extended. Worst case, if they unexpectedly should get into our way in
future, they can also removed [1]. Of course, these tracepoints (like
any other) can be analyzed by eBPF itself, etc. Example output:

virtio_net XDP support expects receive buffers to be contiguous.
If this is not the case we enable a slowpath to allow connectivity
to continue but at a significan performance overhead associated with
linearizing data. To make it painfully aware to users that XDP is
running in a degraded mode we throw an xdp buffer error.
To linearize packets we allocate a page and copy the segments of
the data, including the header, into it. After this the page can be
handled by XDP code flow as normal.
Then depending on the return code the page is either freed or sent
to the XDP xmit path. There is no attempt to optimize this path.
This case is being handled simple as a precaution in case some
unknown backend were to generate packets in this form. To test this
I had to hack qemu and force it to generate these packets. I do not
expect this case to be generated by "real" backends.

program is run and returns the XDP_TX action the virtio_net XDP

with the current CPU that the XDP packet was processed on.
Before sending the packet the header is zeroed. Also XDP is expected

XDP requires using isolated transmit queues to avoid interference
with normal networking stack (BQL, NETDEV_TX_BUSY, etc). This patch
adds a XDP queue per cpu when a XDP program is loaded and does not
expose the queues to the OS via the normal API call to
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(). This way the stack will never push
an skb to these queues.
However virtio/vhost/qemu implementation only allows for creating
TX/RX queue pairs at this time so creating only TX queues was not
possible. And because the associated RX queues are being created I
went ahead and exposed these to the stack and let the backend use
them. This creates more RX queues visible to the network stack than
TX queues which is worth mentioning but does not cause any issues as
far as I can tell.

This adds XDP support to virtio_net. Some requirements must be
met for XDP to be enabled depending on the mode. First it will
only be supported with LRO disabled so that data is not pushed
across multiple buffers. Second the MTU must be less than a page
size to avoid having to handle XDP across multiple pages.
If mergeable receive is enabled this patch only supports the case
where header and data are in the same buf which we can check when
a packet is received by looking at num_buf. If the num_buf is
greater than 1 and a XDP program is loaded the packet is dropped
and a warning is thrown. When any_header_sg is set this does not
happen and both header and data is put in a single buffer as expected
so we check this when XDP programs are loaded. Subsequent patches
will process the packet in a degraded mode to ensure connectivity
and correctness is not lost even if backend pushes packets into
multiple buffers.
If big packets mode is enabled and MTU/LRO conditions above are
met then XDP is allowed.
This patch was tested with qemu with vhost=on and vhost=off where
mergeable and big_packet modes were forced via hard coding feature
negotiation. Multiple buffers per packet was forced via a small
test patch to vhost.c in the vhost=on qemu mode.

Commit 4490001029 ("virtio-net: enable
multiqueue by default") blindly set the affinity instead of queues
during probe which can cause a mismatch of #queues between guest and
host. This patch fixes it by setting queues.

With CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y, virtnet_set_mac_address() can be passed a
pointer to the stack and it will OOPS. Copy the address to the heap
to prevent the crash.

We use single queue even if multiqueue is enabled and let admin to
enable it through ethtool later. This is used to avoid possible
regression (small packet TCP stream transmission). But looks like an
overkill since:
- single queue user can disable multiqueue when launching qemu
- brings extra troubles for the management since it needs extra admin
tool in guest to enable multiqueue
- multiqueue performs much better than single queue in most of the
cases
So this patch enables multiqueue by default: if #queues is less than or
equal to #vcpu, enable as much as queue pairs; if #queues is greater
than #vcpu, enable #vcpu queue pairs.

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.
That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an
error.
Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.
However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.
